  • 1. Rijeka Carnival

    Known as the "fifth season," Carnival lasts from the end of January until mid-February and awakens a specific kind of energy in the city only experienced during this time of year. The passion locals pour into carnival cannot be compared to neighboring Venice's big-city sophistication. Celebrations here have a village feel and are closely linked to local traditions that are safeguarded in each particular town and passed down through generations. The excitement in the streets as the city is taken over by crazy antics, colorful costumes, and masquerading revelers who poke fun at local politics to make Rijeka a worthy winter destination. The season kicks off with the Carnival Queen Pageant and continues with weeks of fun activities and masked parties all over town, and ends with the Children's Carnival Parade and the International Carnival Parade.

  • 2. Gervais Center

    Since the 19th century, a live performance and musical theater has sat where the modern Gervais Center sits today. At the beginning of the 20th century the theater started showing films until it officially became the city cinema in the 1950s. In 2012, the original building was demolished, then in 2017 the current contemporary performance house opened, now offering a vibrant year-round schedule of regional musical theater, plays, concerts, opera, festivals, and movie screenings.
